If you are going to make your own slime, ensure you have some resealable plastic pots or sealable plastic bags to keep it in, some spoons and stirrers and a clear table or workspace. Although you can buy pots of slime in toy shops, online and even in supermarkets, it is fun and relatively easy to make at home. It is brilliant for kids who need to fidget, as they can keep their hands active pulling and kneading the slime. Slime is a play product that is stretchy and malleable. If you have little children who love sensory play, they'll also have fun with these home-made play dough ideas. There are lots of different ways to produce slime, many of them using different ingredients, so if you need to know how to make slime without activator or to create slime without borax, read on. Who knew science lessons could be so much fun? The joy of making slime at home is that you can use easily-found products to create your own, and it counts as a science lesson too. Kids love the sensory feedback they get from slime, and it's easy to 'cook up' your own at home.
